Hi, I'm Liz and I live in NY. I am a soon to be Kindle owner. In the past I have used my ebook reader on my PDA, which I enjoyed, but I am looking foward to something more dedicated.

Hi Liz and welcome to the Forum. Are you getting a Kindle 2?

You are going to find that eInk equipped dedicated eBook readers, like the Kindle, are much more satisfying than a PDA. I read for years on an iPaq and my Sony is way better than that was.

Okay, 'satisfying' isn't the correct word; the damn things are addictive!

Welcome to MR, Liz. I agree that PDAs aren't the best for reading but they do fit in pockets better than Kindles.

Yes, I'm going to get a Kindle 2. Yes, PDAs are nice and compact, but since I'm a woman and carry a big bag anyway....

Thanks for the welcomes.

Word to that! I can fit pretty much anything in my purse (Mary Poppins style), what's a few more inches in size? My Reader is certainly lighter than my day planner...

Yeah, I don't carry a purse. I'm afraid the other guys would make fun of me and I'd have to hit them with it. Ruins so many purses that way, doncha know.

Hi Liz,
and welcome to the forum.
I upgraded myself from a palm life drive (which I used for 3 years for reading only) to a Sony PRS-505. I did not wanted a Kindle - didn't look that good in my opinion - and I am happy right now.
So, hope for you, that your kindle 2 arrives today and
keep reading
